Copy Cell Contents<br />
Copying a cell or a cell range places a duplicate of the selection on the Clipboard. The selected<br />
data remains in its original location, and a copy of the cell data is pasted in another location.<br />
You can copy text using the drag and drop method or Copy and Paste commands. Data that is<br />
copied can be pasted multiple times and in multiple locations.<br />
HOW TO: Copy Using Drag and Drop<br />
1. Select the cell(s) you want to copy.<br />
2. Place your pointer over the border of the selection until<br />
the move pointer appears.<br />
3. Press and hold Ctrl and click the border of the selected<br />
cell(s).<br />
• A small plus sign appears next to the pointer<br />
indicating the move pointer has changed to the<br />
copy pointer.<br />
4. Drag the cell or cell range to the desired new location on<br />
the worksheet, release the pointer first, and then release<br />
Ctrl (Figure 1-17).<br />

Copying cells using the copy and paste method is similar to moving<br />

Paste Cell Contents and Paste Options<br />

the Home tab to display the Paste Options gallery (Figure 1-18). The<br />
